The rate of heat transfer is also given by the electric power consumed to heat up the resistance: Q = R = R,[1+ a(T,wire – T, ]1? where I is the electric current, a is the temperature coefficient of resistance, and R. is the wire resistance at temperature T. Obtain flow velocity as a function of the electric current.

the title of the book: Engineering Thermofluids Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer by: Mahmoud Massoud

9. A hot-wire anemometer is a heated electric resistance placed in the pipe carry-
ing the flow. King showed that the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the flow
velocity as:
g=(a +bv°s {r -T, )
wire
where constants a and b are determined from a calibration of the anemometer.
The rate of heat transfer is also given by the electric power consumed to heat up
the resistance:
Q = Rie = R,[1+a(T,ire - T, ]1?
where I is the electric current, a is the temperature coefficient of resistance, and R,
is the wire resistance at temperature T. Obtain flow velocity as a function of the
electric current.
